Why fans are freaking out about the new Pokémon game

Nintendo just announced a remake to the wildly popular games Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. And despite the fact he announcement was made with perhaps one of the worst uninspired trailers imaginable, fans are still off-the-walls excited.

THEY'RE REMAKING POKEMON RUBY AND SAPPHIRE FOR THE 3DS JUST LIKE THEY DID FOR RED AND BLUE AND GOLD AND SILVER IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMG

While many fans are clearly excited ("MY BODY IS READY" wrote one 4chan user), Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are probably the most divisive games in the series. Fans laud the game for its lush world, customizability, and length. Critics find it unbalanced, saying it lacks proper narrative progression.

Dubbed Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, the game is set to launch this November on the 3DS, but that's about all we know. From the trailer, we learned learned that “a new adventure is coming,” with the ability to “explore a dramatic new world,” and that’s it. For Pokémon obsessives, however, that's clearly enough.

Twitch Plays Pokemon, a massively multiplayer social experiment that saw thousands of strangers trying to play one of Nintendo's classic RPGs together, took the Internet by storm a few weeks ago. But Twitch Plays Real Pokemon, which is essentially the same idea except with an actual Game Boy and robotic peripherals, looks like it may blow the original out of the water.
